About This Book

Mediante una carta-respuesta a preguntas de un general estadounidense, el autor expone las causas de la insurrección filipina —la búsqueda de libertades civiles, igualdad en el acceso a cargos públicos, respeto a la propiedad y deseo de progreso— y ofrece respuestas prácticas sobre liderazgo, financiación y organización gubernamental. Señala que el apoyo a líderes depende del pueblo, que la población prefiere la paz y aceptaría una tutela temporal solo si conduce a la autonomía, propone un empréstito exterior y tributos equitativos para gastos iniciales, y advierte que la prolongación de la guerra implicaría costos humanos y económicos, descrédito internacional y riesgo de intervención extranjera, por lo que aboga por una solución negociada que respete las aspiraciones locales.

About the Author

Mabini, Apolinario portrait

Apolinario Mabini

Apolinario Mabini was a Filipino revolutionary leader and political thinker, known for his significant contributions to the Philippine independence movement. Often referred to as the 'sublime paralytic' due to his physical disability, Mabini's intellect and writings played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of the Philippines during the late 19th century. His notable works include 'Mabini's Decalogue for Filipinos,' which outlines ethical principles for nation-building, and 'Contestaciones y Consideraciones,' where he addresses the American Congress regarding Philippine sovereignty. Mabini's ideas continue to resonate in discussions of nationalism and governance in the Philippines.
